  • FOUNDER & HEAD TRAINER

    We’re so glad you’re here!
    I’m Kirby—the one you’ll be working with at Country K-Nine, LLC.

    I’ve been working with dogs my whole life, and since 2019, I’ve been helping owners and their dogs as a certified dog trainer and business owner. I also bring a unique perspective from my background in veterinary care—after graduating from vet tech school in 2016, I spent seven years working in an animal hospital, gaining essential knowledge that strengthens how I understand and work with canine behavior.

    You’re here for a reason, and I genuinely hope we’re the right fit to create real change for you and your dog. I’m here to walk alongside you, challenge you when you need it, and remind you just how capable you are. Because when you grow, your dog grows with you—and that’s what this journey is all about.

    My mission is simple: to help you and your dog build a calmer, more connected, and stress-free life—because you deserve it, and so do they.

  • Meet Evan – My hype man!
    This is my incredibly supportive husband. While you may not see him front and center, he plays a vital role in keeping Country K-Nine running smoothly. From filming training sessions, and capturing photos, to handling maintenance and daily care. While Evan is not involved in the training itself, you can trust that he’ll treat your dog with the same kindness and compassion that I do.

    He’s deeply involved in feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. He’s also great at making anyone that comes in our doors feel incredibly welcome (he may even talk your ear off) haha!

    Country K-Nine would not be what it is today without him!
